File downloads freeze. I can occasionally get a download to work for small files, but it takes repeated attempts. Large file downloads freeze at differing points.

I recently upgraded to IE 8 and Thunderbird 5.0.I ran a full scan with MSE and Malware Bytes and found nothing.I also ran CCleaner and fixed all that it identified with the registry scan.I also deleted the temporary internet files.

I have a little more info - i use a wireless setup and the other computers on my net work fine - so it's not the router/modem or my isp. Foxfire works, but i have to continuously have to pause and restart the download to complete it.

Downloads freeze in safe mode, as well. I also tried IE8 without add-ons and it freezes.

I have recently had problems with large downloads. Downloads freeze on IE8, FF5, iTunes10. Additionally, when I watch streaming video on Hulu I have also been experiencing freezing of the video (download cache runs out and has not reloaded seamlessly). I have been unable to update my iPhone or iPad to the lastest iOS as a result because iTunes does not resume downloads of the iOS from the middle! Since I must restart, it never completes!

The download freezes started very recently, in the last month or so.

I have just "upgraded" Windows 7 pro x64 in case it was a Windows-related problem, but that did not seem to help.

It is very frustrating to say the least. Any suggestions would be most appreciated!
